Open Air

Speaking of stories, London label Draw In Light have a background that reads like a fiction novel. Two girls, a 25 year friendship that began literally at birth, and a shared love of fashion. Together they've tread the familiar path faced by emerging designers, like lack of money and lack of space, before being snapped up by some of London's best fashion stores. In less than a year Harry and Polly, best friends and co-conspirators of said label, have gone from graduates to a boutique brand. We had a quick tête-à-tête with the girls.

Addition To Edition

The Grand Social have cornered the e-commerce market. They have perfected the pop up. And they know how throw a party. So we're sure most shoppers will welcome their first permanent space, Edition, a fashion focused concept store with an arty edge. Like their grand opening gesture of a film/photography collective from The Aeon, Edition have curated another exhibition, 3+1exit, presenting the works of photographer Adrian Mesko, which means...another party! Party plus photography plus shopping? Has Christmas come early?

Spectres

Garth Cook caught us by surprise six months ago. Until his debut as part of RAFW's New Gen group show we knew little of the designer. Now we know a lot, because we love what this designer can do with drape. Drapery looks set to be his trademark skill, much in the same way it has worked for compatriot Gary Bigeni. Pleated, tucked and gathered to give volume, Cook's new collection, Spectres, speaks of luxury refinement and clean silhouettes, and is matched only by his ability to bring a youthful sensibility to each piece.

I Want To Be Like Them

If you've spent a lazy Saturday trawling for vintage at the Glebe markets then chances are you've wandered across creative couple Bri Cheeseman and Andrew Prince's label, Secret Squirrel. What started as a weekend routine, with early morning starts and hours spent under the shade of a canvas umbrella, has turned into a full-time love affair with fashion.
